22 Feb. 2005 Knowledge Management- What It Really Means For Today's Off-Shoring ?
Off-shoring is a type of outsourcing. Off-shoring simply means having the outsourced business functions done in another country. Frequently, work is off-shored in
order to reduce labor expenses. Other times, the reasons for off-shoring are strategic :

To tap talent currently unavailable domestically or to overcome regulations that prevent specific activities domestically.

India has emerged as the dominant player in off-shoring, particularly in software work. Three factors came into play to make this possible. First, in the 1970s the
Indian government put in place regulations that mandated that all foreign ventures have Indian majority ownership. Fearing government takeover, many large U.S.
corporations, such as IBM, departed, leaving India in the position of fending for itself to maintain its technical infrastructures. This quickly forced the creation of
schools to train students in technology.
